Duality #12

This is one of three new images in my Dualities gallery. CLICK HERE to see them.

OK, my friends, it's time to travel a bit deeper into the subject of dualities. I'm asking to you to stretch, to bend, to throw away old assumptions and look at this image with new eyes. That's what I had to do while creating it. My literal mind kept saying, "But, but, but..." My inner artist told it to shut up and look. Just look. It was then that I saw why these two images belonged together. And I have my PBase brother Offer Goldfarb (http://www.pbase.com/offerg/profile) to thank for moving me past the literal. In Offer's words:

"There is another alternative to make diptychs: diptych where the link is not transparent, the viewer (and the artist) must work harder for meanings and maybe the diptych will forever keep its secrate, like the works of rembrandt, for examples, or the meanings of life itself, and what is left is only the experience itself, rich with meaning and excitings that dont necessary can be translated into verbal ideas, knowing that always the ideas reduce the experience..."

"Big" vs "small"; "Power" vs "manual"; But they are all machines that make our lives better! Very creative idea to put them together, Pat! V
